Welcome to Thankful Thursday - December 27, 2012

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Luke 2:13-14

Greetings Sweet Peas,

Have sure missed you guys! and hope

this finds you all recovered and refreshed

from all the flurry of Christmas activity.

I am feeling great today since I did zip, zero, nada

yesterday!! So much fun not to have to do anything but

what youwant to every once in awhile. We slept in, had

nice brunch leftovers, so no cooking, only reheating,

and did some reading and wii playing and watched a

Christmas movie, and had whoppers for dinner!! lol

So All play and no work makes me a fun and happy

Girl..................lolupdate:and I pretty much did the same thing today acceptI did blog a bit and read some blogs. So that wasfun................and different since I have not been ableto for some time now. Fun catching up!!

Well, guess I had better get on with

Thankful Thursday.

#1

I am first of all thankful

for whose birthday it really was....for without Him in

my life I would be soooo lost. I am greatly thankful

for the greatest gift of all times,

the Lord Jesus!!

(Some christmas scenes from my house)#2

I am thankful

for another really great Christmas Season. We keep

thinking they can't get any better but they always do......

I think that is because with Jesus the best is always

yet to come......................

#3

I am so thankful

that we were able to see all of our local family on

Christmas day, even if for a short time with some

of them. Got to spend most of the day with Scott

and Megan and have dinner on Christmas eve, which was a delightful time and then they did get to drop by for a short while Christmas day, on their way in between houses, which was great. Dee andJerry were able to be here Christmas morning to open gifts like we normally do,and for brunchand was able to stay until 3 p.m., and we all had a fun time as well, and Susan my SIL was able tobe here the whole day, other than a few hoursthat we all decided to take a nap, and then we finished off the day with a Lasagna dinner and watching Polar Express

We made a day of it, so it was a warm, sweet and wonderful day.

#4

I am thankful

that at a certain point during the season I was

starting to feel a lil panicked because I was so

behind on everything, and a question came to

me that I think was generated by the Lord, and

the question was.............

Have you ever not been ready for Christmas???

and I had to say No Lord, I have to say I have

never not been ready for Christmas, and then

I was able to just relax in it all.

#5

I am thankful

for the blessing of hubby being able to be off

at Christmas time, he will be home for 13 days,

21/2 will be working days, but the rest is just time

off. That has been a special blessing to our family

for years now, and we so enjoy it, and it is such a

great refresher for my hubby too. A vacation

without having to pack or go anywhere.................

unless we want to......

#6

I am thankful

for heating in our homes, as it is chilly here this

morning, and it feels so good!! and if you live

up north I know you are thankful for it even more.

#7

I am thankful

for all the lovely cards and gifts that I received

for christmas from family and friends. Such

a blessing......................

#8

I am thankful

that Megan continues to do well with her

pregnancy, course, there are still those normal

issues of being pregnant to contend with, some

worse than others, bless her heart. she looks

amazing tho, and so cute, was just wishing

I had taken a pic of her on Christmas so I could

show you. She is at the 8th month mark now.....

expect the next few months will fly by, at least

I hope so for her sake.

#9

I am thankful

for some new books, magazines, wii gamesand a kenny G Cd, we got for Christmas. They should give us hours of entertainment.

#10I am thankfulthat my Sil Susan's house is almost backtogether again since the flood she had backon November 5th, it has been a bit of a trialfor her to say the least, so know she will bemore than happy to see it come to an end.

You have so much to be thankful for this Christmas season! We are so lucky to have those blessings in our lives. That's just terrible about your sister-in-law's flooded out house! I am so glad things are back to normal for her now. That must have been incredibly stressful, especially during the holidays when you have enough stress without something like that haunting your every move!!!

A wonderful "Thankful List", Nellie, especially the soon to be grandchild, you and your dh are in for the most wonderful experience..... I am so glad Megan is doing so well!I can certainly relate to Susan for not having our nests in order. So glad it is finished, and that.. I really can relate to! ~smile~It really sounds like a wonderful Christmas you had, I too have been having some time off, just doing nothing, enjoying the season. I told myself next week,Jan.1, my feet will hit the floor running. lolThanks for sharing your TT list, I enjoyed and related to it.Enjoy your day.Hugs,Sue

Of all your blogs, I like this one the best. This is truly a season to be thankful.

Just checking back for any new items you may have posted. I left a note of invitation in the comment section on one of your past posts’ and invited you to follow my blog. Just in case it was accidently overlooked, just want you to know the invitation is still very much valid…and of course, I am already following your blog.P.S. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

What a wonderful list of thankfuls. I was right down to the wire with Christmas too. With my Vertigo still bothering me and our new little dog along with going to the kids for Christmas I am glad to be back and on schedule. Except our new little Einstein. He is sweet but not house trained so we are dealing with that. I will blog more about him later.I am so excited for your granddaughter to arrive.

Christmas was a little chaotic in Florida for us this year. Both my parents had the flu! :( But I'm so thankful I was able to stay healthy. Traveling while sick is the worst! Happy New Year! I hope it is filled with goodness for you and your family. I'm so looking forward to whatever great things God has in store for 2013.hugs♥,Caroline

#!. The LORD is so good! I'm so thankful His WORD tells us He chose us before the foundation of the world was created! (Eph. 1:4)#2. I have found as I grow closer to the LORD in trusting Him, life gets better no matter what!#3. The LORD surely blessed our day with Him and family!#4. This is such an important lesson you have mentioned. I need to stop and think this more than I do with all circumstances life brings!#5. Praise our LORD for Him blessing you and Jim with this time together!#6. You are cold? I'm so glad you can enjoy it, ha!#7. Amen! I save mine and have them in a card file for the different ocassions!#8. I know you and Jim can hardly wait. I know I can hardly wait!#9. My book for you should be coming soon. It was back ordered.I got one for me too. I'll just have to catch up on the daily readings when I do get it!#10. I surely am!! Justin said they didn't put the eyeround in the utility room because it wasn't in there before for the insurance to cover. He said he would put it in if I wanted him to. (for $)#11. Wonderful!#12. He is surely a blessed son-in-law!HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love, Susan.
